I already mentioned how many friends I made over the years who had moved to TN for various reasons. All but two fled the state at the first opportunity. Both of those moved away from the area where I live. They all had the same complaints I have. Social isolation is difficult to live with. The feeling of being on the outside looking in. The feeling no one gives a crap about you because you're not family. The constant feeling of being alone, isolated, out of place, odd man out.
Nashville is turning in to another southern slum outside the areas where the wealthy live. There are many many homeless living there on the streets. Drugs. Prostitution. White slavery. Every type of conman preying on the country music hopefuls. Nashville has it all. We avoid going there if we can.
